Lull Telehandlers
Ever since 1959, Lull has been making telehandlers. Their equipment have been made for load placement with their patented Stabil-Trak stability system. This particular system offers a lot more accurate placement capabilities. Lull telehandlers offer different optional attachments and these telehandlers could really help you complete all your needs, while being efficient and safe at the worksite. When both accuracy and precision are a must, leave it to a Lull telehandler to accomplish everything you need.
The Future
To be able to make rough terrain lift trucks as functional as possible, numerous attachments have been engineered and made like winches, booms, and rotating fork carriages, to allow the forklift to place materials more precisely. The booms or articulating booms are available in 2 different extendible arms and are able to reach up and over structures so as to place loads on interior roof slope settings or in the center of upper floors. New products and attachments are being developed and engineered all the time and would debut in the future.
With extra safety features becoming more prevalent, several improvements have been made. Like for example, load-reach management devices can automatically restrict the forklift's reach, based on the load being handled rather than relying on the operator. Pressure sensors are used in order to determine the weight of the load. This information is sent to a tiny electronic memory device which had all the load-reach limitations pre-programmed into it.
The memory of the boom would compare the angle and the extension of the boom with the safety limits, when the load is being placed into position. There is an important lock-up device or a warning system that prevents the operator from over-reaching and possibly causing the forklift to tip over or the boom to fail.
